PRE-CONCOURS DETAIL CLINICFollowing our Santa Barbara Breakfast Meeting

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 11AM-2PMAt LAVAGGIO in Agoura HillsIn preparation for our 35th Annual Concours d’Elegance, we’ve scheduled a Detail Clinic to teach you how to better prepare your car for competition (or fun) in less time. Learn new techniques and discover all the latest products to make your car sparkle. Understand the Zone 8 competition rules and find out exactly what the judges look for when examining a car.

Expert instruction will be provided by our own Dick Douglass, an experienced Concours Judge. A detailing demonstration will show the best way to use the newest products in preparing your Porsche. Plus, lunch will be served at the beautiful Lavaggio facility at 30205 Canwood Street, Agoura Hills (Reyes Adobe exit off the 101).

The price for the clinic and lunch is only $15.00 per person (at the door). If you plan to attend, please make a reservation no later than September 5, 2011. RSVP to Concours Chair Carolyn Ewbank (805) 496-5213 [email protected]

Promise yourself:To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,And too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
